Servomex appoints new President

Servomex has appointed Trevor Sands as the company’s new President. Responsible for the leadership and growth of Servomex’s global operations, Sands takes over from Charles ‘Chuck’ Hurley, who has stepped down after almost five years in the role.

Sands brings extensive senior leadership experience, having worked in various management positions for companies such as Emerson, Invensys, Unitech and Arthur Andersen. Most recently he ran the Control Valves business for IMI plc, following a period as Chief Executive of Cosalt plc.

Sands noted: “[Hurley] has strengthened the value proposition for the customer, leaving Servomex well-placed to take advantage of the rebound in our core industrial markets.

“Our ambition now is to continue to increase our presence and market share, delivering the products and expert services demanded by the industries we serve. Leading Servomex’s accomplished team of global experts through this continued growth is a privilege, and I look forward to achieving future success together.”

Hurley is leaving Servomex to pursue a new business opportunity in the US. He joined Servomex in 2008 as General Manager of the Americas region, and moved into leading global sales and marketing before taking up the President role in 2013.

Under his leadership, many key products were designed and manufactured, including the SERVOTOUGH Laser 3 Plus TDL range, SERVOTOUGH MonoExact DF150E and DF310E oxygen analysers, and the SERVOPRO MultiExact 4100 multigas analyser.

In addition, Servomex’s Hummingbird Sensing Technology brand was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2016, in recognition of the company’s innovative sensing technologies.

“I’d like to thank my colleagues at Servomex, Hummingbird and Spectris for all their hard work and support over the years. They are exceptionally talented and enthusiastic, and I know they’ll continue to provide the same commitment and energy to the business under Trevor,” commented Hurley.
